Performing Grief: Bridal Laments in Rural China By Anne E. McLaren
2008 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 0824832329 | PDF | 3 MB
This is the first in-depth study of Chinese bridal laments, a ritual and performative art practiced by Chinese women in premodern times that gave them a rare opportunity to voice their grievances publicly. Drawing on methodologies from numerous disciplines, including performance arts and folk literatures, the author suggests that the ability to move an audience through her lament was one of the most important symbolic and ritual skills a Chinese woman could possess before the modern era. Performing Grief provides a detailed case study of the Nanhui region in the lower Yangzi delta. Bridal laments, the author argues, offer insights into how illiterate Chinese women understood the kinship and social hierarchies of their region, the marriage market that determined their destinies, and the value of their labor in the commodified economy of the delta region. The book not only assesses and draws upon a large body of sources, both Chinese and Western, but is grounded in actual field work, offering both historical and ethnographic context in a unique and sophisticated approach. Unlike previous studies, the author covers both Han and non-Han groups and thus contributes to studies of ethnicity and cultural accommodation in China. She presents an original view about the ritual implications of bridal laments and their role in popular notions of "wedding pollution." The volume includes an annotated translation from a lament cycle. This important work on the place of laments in Chinese culture enriches our understanding of the social and performative roles of Chinese women, the gendered nature of China's ritual culture, and the continuous transmission of women's grievance genres into the revolutionary period. As a pioneering study of the ritual and performance arts of Chinese women, it will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of anthropology, social history, gender studies, oral literature, comparative folk religion, and performance arts.

Performing Ethnomusicology: Teaching and Representation in World Music Ensembles By Ted Solis
2004 | 329 Pages | ISBN: 0520238745 | PDF | 3 MB
Performing Ethnomusicology is the first book to deal exclusively with creating, teaching, and contextualizing academic world music performing ensembles. Considering the formidable theoretical, ethical, and practical issues that confront ethnomusicologists who direct such ensembles, the sixteen essays in this volume discuss problems of public performance and the pragmatics of pedagogy and learning processes. Their perspectives, drawing upon expertise in Caribbean steelband, Indian, Balinese, Javanese, Philippine, Mexican, Central and West African, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Jewish klezmer ensembles, provide a uniquely informed and many-faceted view of this complicated and rapidly changing landscape. The authors examine the creative and pedagogical negotiations involved in intergenerational and intercultural transmission and explore topics such as reflexivity, representation, hegemony, and aesthetically determined interaction. Performing Ethnomusicology affords sophisticated insights into the structuring of ethnomusicologists' careers and methodologies. This book offers an unprecedented rich history and contemporary examination of academic world music performance in the West, especially in the United States.

Samuel N. Dorf, "Performing Antiquity: Ancient Greek Music and Dance from Paris to Delphi, 1890-1930"
English | ISBN: 0190612096 | 2018 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Performing Antiquity: Ancient Greek Music and Dance from Paris to Delphi, 1890-1930 investigates collaborations between French and American scholars of Greek antiquity (archaeologists, philologists, classicists, and musicologists), and the performing artists (dancers, composers, choreographers and musicians) who brought their research to life at the birth of Modernism. The book tells the story of performances taking place at academic conferences, the Paris Opéra, ancient amphitheaters in Delphi, and private homes. These musical and dance collaborations are built on reciprocity: the performers gain new insight into their craft while learning new techniques or repertoire and the scholars gain an opportunity to bring theory into experimental practice, that is, they have a chance see/hear/experience what they have studied and imagined. The performers receive the imprimatur of scholarship, the stamp of authenticity, and validation for their creative activities. Drawing from methods and theory from musicology, dance studies, performance studies, queer studies, archaeology, classics and art history the book shows how new scholarly methods and technologies altered the performance, and, ultimately, the reception of music and dance of the past. Acknowledging and critically examining the complex relationships performers and scholars had with the pasts they studied does not undermine their work. Rather, understanding our own limits, biases, dreams, obsessions, desires, loves, and fears enriches the ways we perform the past.

H. James Harrington, "Performance Acceleration Management (PAM) "
English | ISBN: 1138464015 | 2017 | 220 pages | AZW3 | 45 MB
Organizations around the world are rating their improvement efforts as not producing the desired long-term results. Dr. Harrington's research indicates that this occurs because organizations are using the latest improvement tools and approaches without first defining how they want to change their organization's culture, environment, and key performance drivers.Organizations must first define what controllable factors drive business results. They then must define how they want to change these key performance drivers and behavioral patterns. Only then can they select a customized set of tools and approaches that will bring about the desired transformation.The first book in the Little Big Book Series, Performance Acceleration Management (PAM): Rapid Improvement to Your Key Performance Drivers, explains how to accelerate the rate of change and improvement in your organization to exceed your customers expectations. It introduces the PAM approach to accelerated performance improvement and explains how to use it to bring about significant change to your organization's long-term performance. Supplying answers to commonly asked questions, the book provides you with the understanding to:

Perfektionismus überwinden - für ein effizientes Zeitmanagement Perfektionismus - ein auf den ersten Blick positiv erscheinender Begriff. Schließlich erledigen Menschen, die perfektionistisch veranlagt sind, ihre Aufgaben im Beruf und im Alltag sehr gewissenhaft und oftmals perfekt und fehlerfrei. Was gibt es daran schon auszusetzen? Gerade im Berufsleben kann diese Eigenschaft hinderlich sein. Natürlich gilt es hier zu differenzieren - schließlich erwarten wir von einem Arzt oder Rechtsanwalt eine absolut perfekte und fehlerfreie Arbeit. Aber gerade bei Tätigkeiten im öffentlichen Dienst, im Management oder auch bei privaten Aufgaben hat Perfektionismus oftmals negative Auswirkungen. Neben der Tatsache, dass Sie übermäßig viel Zeit zur Perfektionierung von Aufgaben aufwenden und Ihnen diese Zeit somit für andere wichtige Aufgaben fehlt, können auch psychische Probleme wie soziale Isolation oder Erschöpfung die Folge sein. Ein effizientes Zeitmanagement hilft Ihnen dabei, Aufgaben gelassener und weniger perfektionistisch anzugehen. Sie müssen nicht immer allem und jedem gerecht werden. Organisieren Sie Ihre Aufgaben und schaffen Sie mehr in weniger Zeit, indem Sie sich mit 80 % zufrieden geben. Oftmals erzielen Sie in weniger Zeit sogar die besseren Ergebnisse! Folgende Aspekte werden in diesem Ratgeber behandelt: Verschiedene Arten von gesundem bis ungesundem Perfektionismus Vergleich verschiedener Modelle zu Eigenschaften und Psyche von Perfektionisten Positive und negative Aspekte des Perfektionismus Erkennen und Eliminieren von Zeitfressern im Alltag und im Job Effizientes Zeitmanagement und Priorisierung durch das 80/20 Modell Praktische Übungen und Anleitungen, um Perfektionismus abzulegen und Aufgaben gelassener und effizienter anzugehen Gestalten Sie Ihre Aufgaben effizient und organisiert und akzeptieren Sie, dass nicht immer alles zu 100 % perfekt sein muss. Nicht nur werden Sie mehr Zeit gewinnen, sondern auch Ihre Gesundheit wird es Ihnen danken!
